Huo Jincheng took Lu Xingzhi shopping for over a dozen pairs of shoes, and finally, after buying a few bags for her, they stopped shopping.
Lu Xingzhi felt a bit guilty about the money, but wearing such beautiful dresses and shoes, her mood was still very good.
After all, she was still a teenager, with joy written all over her face.
Lu Xingzhi thought that Huo Jincheng must have been taking care of her like a daughter. If you say Huo Jincheng liked her, she definitely wouldn't believe it.
Either that, or Huo Jincheng, this big man, had a hidden love for shopping.
"Tired now, huh? It's already noon, let's go have lunch and rest a bit."
Huo Jincheng led Lu Xingzhi forward, and suddenly, a fashionable and graceful woman approached.
"Third Brother." Shen Xinzhu saw Huo Jincheng from a distance, at first thinking she was mistaken.
How could Huo Jincheng be shopping with a girl, and yet he was not only accompanying her but holding several shopping bags in his hands.
Shen Xinzhu was used to Huo Jincheng's indifference, but when her gaze fell on his and Lu Xingzhi's intertwined hands, her eyes couldn't help but show some melancholy.
"This... who might this be?" Shen Xinzhu's face looked a bit unpleasant; she had never seen Huo Jincheng so close with a woman, even holding hands.
"Lu Xingzhi, my fiancée. I thought you should know." Huo Jincheng's words carried some deeper meaning.
"So it's Miss Lu." Shen Xinzhu awkwardly pulled at the corner of her lip.
She looked Lu Xingzhi up and down; her skin was fair and gleaming, her features delicate and fine, her big, lively eyes held a bit of charm, and the tiny tear mole at the corner of her eye inexplicably stirred some affection.
She wanted to say more, but Huo Jincheng didn't give her the chance.
"Miss Shen, Zhi Zhi and I have to go for a meal, we're off now." Huo Jincheng nodded slightly and left with Lu Xingzhi.
Watching their backs, Shen Xinzhu's eyes reddened slightly; she had heard long ago that Huo Jincheng had brought back a fiancée, but hadn't expected he'd treat her .
They've known each other for many years, yet he called her Miss Shen, while Lu Xingzhi was called Zhi Zhi.
"Uncle, does that beauty like you?" Lu Xingzhi tilted her head, her bright eyes curved in a smile.
"Beauty?" Huo Jincheng didn't think so. "Her name is Shen Xinzhu, a person of no importance, don't mind her."
"Oh!" She truly didn't mind.
"Let's go eat then! What do you want to eat?"
"I want grilled fish." Lu Xingzhi just spotted a grilled fish restaurant; she loved eating fish.
When the two returned home, they found Helian Yi there again.
Seeing them come back, Helian Yi's gaze first fell on Lu Xingzhi.
He showed some astonishment.
The saying "clothes make the person" was spot on; dressed , Lu Xingzhi truly didn't look like she came from a small village.
But soon, his gaze turned to disdain.
"It really isn't her own money, buying things with no hesitation at all. Truly brazen!"
Although he didn't name names, Lu Xingzhi wasn't foolish enough to think he wasn't talking about her.
"Dear fiancé." Lu Xingzhi suddenly clung to Huo Jincheng's arm, playfully tilted her head, her starry black eyes shining bright as she looked at him, her voice sweet and soft with a hint of grievance, "As your fiancée, is it wrong to spend your money?"
